How much does the Tiguan L weigh?
2 Answers
Tiguan weighs 1.795 tons. Relevant information is as follows: 1. In terms of appearance: The Tiguan L maintains a design similar to the overseas standard Tiguan model, with an overall simple and clean style. Compared to the standard wheelbase model, it adds some chrome decorative elements, and the C-pillar design has been modified. The Tiguan L measures 4712/1839/1673mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm. 2. Tiguan L PHEV grille: The Tiguan L PHEV, also known as the SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L plug-in hybrid version, has a design largely consistent with the Tiguan L, with some differences in details. The newly designed upper grille is embedded with a blue PHEV badge, and the C-shaped LED daytime running lights are exclusive to the plug-in hybrid version.
Speaking of the weight of the Tiguan L, I've been driving my 2023 model for almost a year and actually checked the manual specifically. The lightest is the 1.5T two-wheel-drive version, weighing about 1,570 kg when empty, which is more than enough for daily grocery runs and school pickups. The 2.0T high-power version jumps straight to 1,730 kg, and the top-tier four-wheel-drive model with seven seats is even heavier, nearly 1,800 kg. When I was choosing a car, I specifically compared it and found it over 100 kg heavier than the CR-V. The extra weight has its benefits—it feels super stable on the highway, and lane changes feel like it's glued to the road. The downside is that fuel consumption spikes in traffic jams. This car runs on 95-octane gas, costing an extra 200–300 yuan per month. I recommend checking the nameplate before buying—the maximum load capacity is 550 kg, so don't exceed it.
